On Wednesday, April 28th, Dinuba High School had its Senior Night for the Track and Field team. The stands were full of families and friends, and everyone was excited.

The meet started with Dinuba competing against Hanford. The runners lined up on the track, and the field event athletes got ready. One by one, everyone took their turns in races, jumps, and throws.
